MASTER OF
INTERNATIONAL
BUSINESS
Business today is increasingly
conducted across borders, and the
issues that relate to international
business are fundamental to managers
and business professionals. Corporate
survival and growth are dependent on
knowledge and experience of the global
business environment within which
companies operate.
This program emphasises the need
for effective and sustainable business
growth on an international scale within
the complex international environment.
By joining a cohort of high-calibre
students in this program, you will
develop the skills and competencies
necessary to devise and implement
strategic decisions that facilitate the
sustainable global expansion of
business firms.
Admission to this program requires
a bachelor’s degree in a business or
commerce related field. While you do
not need to have practical business
experience to apply, the program provides
you with the opportunity to engage
in a real life mini consulting project for
a company’s current or prospective
international operations either overseas
or in the Australian market.
The overseas consulting project
provides an opportunity to participate
in a two week study tour to countries
such as Brazil, India or Vietnam to gain
firsthand experience about conducting
business in these countries.
This feature puts the Master of
International Business ahead of
comparable programs offered by other
leading international business schools
around the world. The course is also
suitable for experienced managers
looking to progress their global learning
and advance their management skills
with culturally diverse employees
and teams.
